Well, he's so temperamental he refuses to work with me. Spoiled!! This is a "Trap Focus" with the lens set on MF and the body AF-S. Shutter won't release unless in focus..as I'm sure you know. Check it's beak and head ares which will indicate sharp focus in that area. Their feathers are so fine, they're difficult to pick up as fine detail. The lens was set at 65mm (not 135mm) and I could have been even closer. The full size file holds more detail. Thanks for comments, Larry.
